Developing the Proper Defense

Sex crime accusations should never be taken lightly. Contacting an attorney early on is critical. Do not make such mistakes as attempting to speak to law enforcement without an attorney because anything you say can and will be used against you. Another common blunder is to contact the victim or their family. Contacting the alleged victim can exacerbate the situation and it may appear that you are trying to influence a witness. Resolution of a sex crime case requires a combination of effective legal counsel, thorough investigation, and negotiation techniques. At Gallant & Parlow you can rely on us to help protect your rights.
